... just to keep the design system clean. I ve worked on projects where sticking blindly to the rulebook made a simple workflow feel super awkward for the user just because we didn't want to break the pattern. A tidy layout looks nice on a Figma board, but if it makes the actual task harder it defeats the purpose. How do you guys decide when it's okay to break the system rules for a better user flow? Comment from ...

... small design system opinion: Sometimes consistency gets taken a little too literally. A component is already available, so we use it. A pattern exists, so we repeat it. It keeps everything tidy and predictable. That's useful, of course. That's the whole point of having a system. But what happens when the existing component isn't actually the best solution for that particular screen? I don't think every interface needs to look identical to feel consistent ...

... Same model, same request, and the audio side costs eight times more. My engine used to price audio tokens at the text rate. The counts were right and the rate was wrong, so anyone running voice saw a tidy number that was too low. (Another one for my list of things I learned by building this: I d assumed speech was billed by the minute. It s turned into audio tokens, and those have their own price ...

... Live Photo stays with its video, photos you already imported are not copied again, and each iPhone or iPad keeps its own choice. Folder rules work with DockDuck closed When a file lands in a folder with rules, they tidy it right away even if DockDuck isn't open, and a notification tells you what they did. Anything they did can be undone from the folder's history. Also new All Tags lists every tagged file in one place, with ...

... Comment from George Basov(@gbasovv): @davidoduk  Ha, the agent asking for a worktree is the sensible answer. I kept one tree and made the rules stricter instead: stage only your own files by name, never revert or tidy up a change you didn't make, and when one file holds both, stage only your own hunks. A worktree would avoid all of that, the price is merging later. Comment from George Basov(@gbasovv): Mine: rules for running more than ...

... Aleksandr Kubarskii(@al_kub): A support-to-bug-report Skill could pull out what happened, expected behavior and reproduction steps, then flag missing details as questions. I'd want each observation linked back to its source message so a tidy report doesn't hide uncertainty ...

... repo rather than a card per pane. The agent appends to it at the end of every session. It says what got done, what's half done and what's next. It's append only. An agent once tidied it up and a week of context went with it. A crash still loses the last stretch. So it also commits after every step and the git log is the fallback. Comment from Hisashi Space(@hisashispace): @gbasovv  Where things stand ... ... rest it reads. The gap mine has is exactly what your card covers, the last instruction and the tail of the answer, and the append only point above is well taken: a notes file an agent is allowed to tidy

... Letting Claude, Cowork or Codex loose in a folder is great until it "cleans up" something you needed. 2.9 adds a safety net: protect a folder first (from the panel, or right-click it in the Finder). Tidy keeps an instant copy that takes no space. Afterwards it tells you in plain words what was moved, renamed and deleted, and brings it all back in one click. What the AI created stays; nothing current is overwritten. I tested it with ... ... need": it deleted 6 files and moved 18. All 25 came back, byte for byte. Rename also reads more formats now: saved emails, calendar invitations, contacts, EPUB books and screen recordings. Free update for everyone who already has Tidy

... products? Hide weak numbers, show them with a warning, or show them anyway? Comment from Matheus Paranhos(@matheus_paranhos1): Well fair point! I d rather leave a gap than show a confident weak trend, I ve had numbers look tidy and then fall apart on a second check. Do people ask you to show the comparison anyway? Comment from Hisashi Space(@hisashispace): In that kind of case I'd show the actual number plus a projection. Say you show site ...

... Every session ends by writing what got done, what broke and the single next action at the top. The next session starts by reading the top. It's over two thousand lines now. Every time I let the model tidy it into a summary it lost the one detail I needed a week later, so now it only gets added to. Chat history I treat as gone. Comment from Chris(@cward): You have to keep documentation up to date with ...

... This release is about giving you more than two folders at once, and about folders that keep themselves tidy. Up to six panes in one window Split a window into one to six panes, each with its own folder, its own view mode and its own terminal if you use that. Pick the arrangement from the toolbar, or press Control Command and the number of panes you want. Four opens as a 2 by 2 square, which suits a laptop ... ... better than four narrow columns, and you can drag files straight from one pane to another. Folders that keep themselves tidy

... that has nothing to do with focus. My daughters spend real time making their iPhone home screens look how they want. Younger users here treat the home screen as something you style, so an app that makes it look tidy reaches them before the digital detox argument does. Comment from Joshua Gibson(@joshua_gibson2): I just recently joined PH, looking for my lighthouses and hope to be a lighthouse for others! Comment from Rabnoor Singh(@rabnoor_s): thank you, that ...

... There is one directory in my project I am not allowed to refactor, even to tidy it up: the code that draws the actual Nutrition Facts panel, to the regulator's spacing rules. It is not pretty code. But it is correct, it is verified against the regulation's worked examples, and every "improvement" I can imagine risks nudging a hairline rule by half a point and making thousands of generated labels subtly non-compliant. So it is frozen. Bugs ...

... more than eight templates. A guard that cannot see what it guards is worse than none, because it is the reason nobody checks by hand. The other habit is a real figure in the test instead of a tidy one. Our payment check compared amounts in minor units, which is right for dollars and wrong for yen, where Stripe takes whole yen. An invoice of 108250 minor units charges 1082, and 1082 converted back is 108200, fifty short ...

... peter_jenkins1): Hi Alan! As a self-employed person, I regularly archive documents. If I'm no longer working with a client or the documents are somehow no longer useful to me, I archive them. Helps to keep info tidy and relevant. It's a practice I picked up from well-organised employers during my in-house copywriting days. I don't think it makes sense to delete documents, as you may have to document the process later ...

... These are pretty basic tools, but figured if it solved my problem, it might solve someone else's too. Both are free and open source, and I plan to keep doing this: fix my own annoyances. File Tidy An open-source Windows app for cleaning up a folder that's already a disaster Downloads, Desktop, wherever loose files pile up.

... that ever showed for it. The rule was written against one page taking the queries from the other. That is no longer what the data shows. Nothing is taking them; they are just gone. The redirect would still be tidy, but it would not be the fix it was meant to be, and I have not decided yet. So the addition to writing the rule against the outcome: write down the premise that makes the action sensible, and check ...

... Your agent changed a shared helper. The edit looks tidy. Which other parts of the project need a closer look? I m Kevin, the maker of Brain Scanner. Here is a concrete review exercise you can use with your next agent-assisted change: 1. Pick one changed helper or module. Write down the behavior you expect to remain the same. 2. Inspect its recorded relationships in the project graph. Use those connections to identify files and symbols worth reviewing, then ...

... Three weeks ago Tidy launched here, and 133 of you now follow it thank you. Version 2.1 shipped this week, and every one of its 9 changes came from user reports and requests. Among them: "Tidy

... whole page and still do not act, that is a trust or pricing problem, fix the offer. Both look like silence from the outside but need completely different fixes. Comment from Arnold Oshenye(@oshylabs): Bharat's point about views versus responses is the one I would add to. I launched a niche legal tool for UK renters and the number that actually told me something was not signups, it was how many people who read the free analysis came back ... ... good.

... founder update and u get every founder update mixed together Comment from Serdar D(@serdarships): When someone calls a post AI written, it is worth looking at what they are actually testing, because it is almost never style. Cadence, tidy paragraphs, punctuation habits, those are proxies, and every one of them comes out of a single prompt, so a founder who tightens their prose gets accused more often. What a prompt cannot produce is a claim that could turn ...

... suggests good points, just have to double check them for false claims Comment from Ryan Miller(@ryanwrites): @alieksia  I'm worried about false positives too. I would prefer to be able to report something as being AI vs. a system that automatically labels it as AI Comment from Ryan Miller(@ryanwrites): I recently took the time to reply thoughtfully to a forum post, and the original poster clearly responded using AI. It was so bad Idk how well this ... ... line test matches exactly Comment from Rabnoor Singh(@rabnoor_s): @oshylabs   @guillermoescobar  this matches what i got when i changed one variable at a time. i had one flagged, deleted only the final sentence, which was a tidy

... outside every app, which is why Happycapy has a layer no other agent does: paste one command and your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine is connected. Happycapy can organize files, run scripts, and edit documents right where they sit. "Tidy up this folder group by type, and don't delete anything without asking." Check the last folder: the suspected duplicates weren't deleted they went to a review folder to wait for your yes. Quick hands, good manners. Example ...
